**Liverpool were all but Premier League champions before the current pandemic reared its ugly head.**

The Reds were a huge [25 points](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) clear at the top of the table, with Manchester City behind in a very distant second. They were actually just two wins and six points from confirming the title, but that has since been at the very least delayed as it remains unclear when football will be able to return in the United Kingdom.
